| Summary | 0036010: Incorporeal Affix timer runs on real time instead of combat time | ||||
| Description | The Incorporeal affix spawn timer counts real time instead of combat time. On retail, the 45-second timer only counts seconds spent in combat and pauses when the group leaves combat. On our server, the timer continues running during OOC (out of combat), causing instant Incorporeal spawns when re-engaging after any pause. Additionally, the spawn interval is inconsistent; during 4+ minutes of continuous combat, Incorporeal only spawned once instead of every 45 seconds. Expected behavior (retail): - 45s combat-time timer, counts ONLY while the group is in combat - Timer pauses when group leaves combat - Timer resumes from paused value on next pull - Timer resets to 90s after a full wipe - Spawns 1-2 Incorporeal Beings consistently every 45s of combat time Sources: - https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Incorporeal -> "spawns every 45s", "while in combat" - https://www.wowhead.com/affix=136/incorporeal -> "While in combat, incorporeal beings periodically appear" - https://wago.io/IncorporealAffix -> most popular WA (61k installs) implements combat state tracking - https://youtu.be/6QIuqzp3OEw?si=fa2_2jOr9kXtyl-t&t=123 - https://youtu.be/5AlS4pqfW8M?si=l4zAqOmbOB_l9qr_&t=102 (this one is the most accurate one, you can see after they CC the incorporeals, the timer stops because they left COMBAT!) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Enter a Mythic+ dungeon with Incorporeal affix active 2. Pull a pack and wait for Incorporeal to spawn 3. Leave combat (kill the pack or use night elf's shadowmeld) 4. Wait 7-10 seconds out of combat 5. Pull the next pack 6. Result: Incorporeal spawns INSTANTLY on re-engage 7. Expected: Incorporeal should NOT spawn instantly; the timer should have paused during OOC and resumed from where it left off Additional test: 1. Pull a pack and stay in continuous combat for 4+ minutes 2. Result: Incorporeal spawns only once around 20-40s, then never again 3. Expected: Should spawn every 45 seconds consistently | ||||
| Additional Information | Tested with OOC (out of combat) durations of 7s, 9s, 20s, and 30s — all result in instant spawn on re-engage. This confirms the timer never pauses. The fix should change the spawn timer from a real-time clock to a combat-time accumulator that only increments while at least one group member is in combat. | ||||
